It's that time of year again and all of our schedules are packed with holiday parties!

So, when we caught up with Julianne Hough at the Fulfillment Fund Stars Gala, we asked the blonde bombshell to give us her three rules for going out. Suffice it to say, Ryan Seacrest's other half keeps it pretty simple!

2. Smooch Your Pup: If you have your own canine companion, you're probably already abiding by this one—but Julianne's numero dos rule is, she says, "Say goodbye to the dogs!" If you aren't already—pucker up and plant one on the pups before you dash out the door. Julianne never leaves the house without taking a little extra time to tell her canine children she's coming "right back."

And finally...

3. Give Your Outfit One Last Look: Julianne tells us, "If I feel like I'm overdressed, I take something off… Like a piece of jewelry or I had a brighter lip on tonight and I took it off because I felt like it was too much." If you're questioning whether or not you've overdone it, she says, you probably have. Sometimes we have so many amazing accessories, we want to wear them all. But there is a fine line between fashionable and Flava Flav, so be selective!

What do you think of Julianne's three tips? Anything to add to this list?
